Abstract
A method for manufacturing a SiC-based electronic device, that includes implanting, at a front side of a solid body of SiC having a conductivity of N type, dopant species of P type, thus forming an implanted region that extends in depth in the solid body starting from the front side and has a top surface co-planar with said front side; and generating a laser beam directed towards the implanted region in order to generate heating of the implanted region at temperatures comprised between 1500° C. and 2600° C. so as to form an ohmic contact region including one or more carbon-rich layers, for example graphene and/or graphite layers, in the implanted region and, simultaneously, activation of the dopant species of P type.
